Grrrrrr!!!

Loads on nonsense in the media recently about police

Tom Whinger...lawyer, ex rail regulator and as HMIC occasionally seen in a dodgy uniform. He reports confidence in police is 'severely shaken 'in the eyes of the public....Lawrenson, Hillsborough, undercover officers, Plebgate, Tomlinson...

PLEASE !!!! give me a HMIP ( Her Majesties Inspectorate of Politicians) and I would work my days off for free reviewing the activities of our esteemed Parliamentarians.

The latest from the Daily Bile..

Apparently the FED..... a police UNION!..according to the BILE, were waging a guerrilla warfare against politicians. Why were the Che Guevara's at leatherhead so described ? They decided to get some professional PR advice from a firm in the face of hard nosed politicking from HMG.

I am all for this.

When you are dealing with sharks, you learn to swim and then you get some teeth.

HMG spend millions of pounds worth of tax payers money surrounding themselves with like staff . The hubris of this makes me gag.

What else..

The College of Policing ... an entity which frankly was not asked for and has NO support from anybody who actually does the job... is reviewing Bail.

No more than 28 days ...unless exceptional circumstances!

To anybody out there who deals with the reality of day to day custody matters and the process of arrest to charge ,it just screams out .....'you have never done this...!!!!'

Which of course they never have.....which is why they seek refuge in an entity called the College of Policing.

What else has gripped my s**t ?

Of course the IPCC. How they can keep the 'independent' in the title is beyond me but apparently we should view complaints as 'feedback'

No its not feedback its a complaint.

An officer dealing is entitled to say...'No I have not done anything wrong. I have done my role fairly....and NO I have done nothing to apologise for '

The perception is from the 'INDEPENDENT' PCC is that the complainant is always right.
